Tammy Duckworth on Health Care

Roll up my sleeves to fix the problems with ObamaCare

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made major improvements to our health care system. Insurance companies can no longer deny our families coverage due to pre-existing conditions, put a cap on the amount of care they cover, charge women higher premiums or
drop coverage for seniors.

I am concerned that ACA places an unfair burden on employers, especially our small businesses. This is especially true of businesses with low profit margins and high numbers of employees, such as restaurants and retail
stores, who must have a large number of employees due to the shift-work nature of the industry. I am committed to listening to all sides and rolling up my sleeves to fix the problems with ACA so that employees will have access to affordable health care
while at the same time we do not place additional burdens on employers. If anything, I believe access to affordable health care for all Americans will help ease the burden on our businesses, helping them to be more competitive.
